Is having a strong grasp of meditation helpful for astral projecting. My friend says that if I spend a few years being an adept meditator than it will make me a very good astral projector.
Hello Ki and Welcome to the Astral Pulse. Learning meditation is a great start. It helps you to relax and also calms your mental chatter down. You don't necessarily need a couple of years of meditation to project though. Just learn how to relax your body and mind, then you will find that that in itself will help you with your goal of projecting.
Good Luck and Safe Travels! :-)
Meditation is a great start. You have to concentrate and relax your body and mind. This will help you a lot.
Hi,
Once mastered the above used as a precursor to naturally going to sleep keeping your mind awake. At some point you'll notice a new environment where you are awake but not in connection with the physical reality of daily life.
Once achieved the astral awaits.
Enjoy.

There's no magical secret really.
Meditation is about learning to focus your mind... then learning to hold that focus for extended periods of time.
Just continue to hold that focus. If you lose focus, gently nudge it back to what you were focusing on and continue.
You are probably not doing anything wrong. What Xanth said is true, there is no magical solution and that applies to meditation. Just because you can meditate, does not mean you can astral project. I have meditated a lot and I do not astral project all the time. I share with you that astral projection can be very frustrating. I have not astral projected lately. Sometimes I have not made an effort. Other times I have made an effort and I fall asleep. Other times I do not astral project at all. It is very important to know your astral projection sensations. Some of the sensations are obvious. You can hear noises or you can feel yourself moving. There is another sensation and it is not that easy to notice it. It is not that obvious. One moment you are lying down and the next moment you are in the astral. I have fallen asleep. I have noticed when I astral project my mind gets a bit more relaxed. When that happens you know you are about to be in another place. I kept astral projecting this morning, again and again. Every time I tried to astral project, I noticed my mind was a bit more relaxed than usual. Keep up the meditation. It is really helpful. I just breathe in and out. There is nothing complicated or fancy about meditation. Some times I might do a technique. It is important to believe you can astral project. I used to be able to astral project a lot in the mornings but I do not astral project much in the mornings anymore. I think it is because I have lost confidence. I said to myself this morning I can do it and my mind will relax. This morning I listened to a CD of thunderstorms, rain and ocean waves. That helps my mind to relax and helps to stop being bored. It is not nice lying down for a long time and nothing happens. When you start to get frustrated it is hard to astral project. The mind has to be relaxed.
